“Come on, let’s have a toast and start eating.” Gu Chengrui raised his glass.

“A toast to my sister-in-law. She’s been busy in the kitchen for us.” Zhou Huaiming raised his cup.

Zhou Ying raised her glass and clinked it with theirs.

However, she didn’t gulp it down and only took a sip. After putting down the cup, she stood up and picked up a lamb chop for each of them. “Eat this first. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”

“It smells so good. Your cooking is still the best.” Zhou Huaiming nodded repeatedly and then lowered his head to eat.

Due to the large amount of food, the four of them were a little stuffed. In the end, Zhou Ying asked someone to cook a pot of hawthorn tea.

Zhou Huaiming sat down and looked at Gu Chenglin. “Chenglin, how’s your revision going? Are you confident about the capital examination?”

“Of course, but my brother-in-law’s ascension to the throne will be during the capital examination’s date; I don’t know if it’s still ongoing.”

“It’s only delayed to three days later. Otherwise, how are you going to get your scholar status next year? You must not relax at this time.”

“Thank you for your advice, Brother Zhou. I understand.” Gu Chenglin said happily.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Huaiming left.

Gu Chengrui brought Gu Chenglin to the study. After they sat down, Gu Chengrui reminded him, “Your sister’s identity will be different soon, and the attitude of the people around you will also change.

“You have to be careful when making friends in the future. Don’t be used by them.”

“I understand. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

“Good. While you won’t be causing trouble, don’t be afraid of trouble.

“Study hard. Don’t make things difficult for your sister.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he gave him a few more instructions before letting him go back to revise his homework.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the new emperor ascended the throne. After the Crown Prince was done with his work, he looked for the Emperor and asked, “Father, are you feeling better?”

“I’m alright, but my injuries are so serious that I can’t recover in a day.

“By the way, have you memorized the procedure?”

“I have. First, bring the civil and military officials to worship the heavens, earth, and ancestors.

“After that, I will return to the palace to receive the imperial edict. Next, I will confer the title of Empress and announce it to the world.”

“It’s good that you remember them. To be honest, Mother God’s contribution is indispensable for our country’s safety.

“Therefore, I want you to lead all the officials and solemnly worship Mother God.”

“All the officials?”

“Yes, set a date and time. Inform all the officials to pay their respects to any Mother God Temple on that day. Anyone else who’s willing could follow.”

“I understand. After I ascend the throne, I will discuss the exact date with Uncle Wang.”

“Great, go. The country will be relying on you next.”

“I will take my leave.” After the Crown Prince bowed, he retreated.

After returning to the residence, he gave some serious instructions to Sun Miaoke, Gu Wanning, and their servant girls before they went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, the Emperor attended his last morning court session. Even Gu Chengrui, who usually did not show his face, was called over.

After the meeting was over, the Emperor officially passed the abdication edict to the Crown Prince.

After a meal, the new Emperor changed into his dragon robe and brought all the officials to the ancestral temple. After paying their respects, he returned to the palace to receive the worship of all the officials and changed the title of the year to God’s Blessing.

The entire process sounded simple, but it was still rather complicated.

Zhou Ying also witnessed it and was laughing silently when she saw him being ordered by the eunuchs and ceremonial officials like a marionette.

However, she was still happy for him. There were not many people in history who had succeeded to the throne so formally..
